    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    Yea, I got the whole GlueTread kit that covers all sorts of plugs, patches and such and I always have my Viair compressor under the back seat. Been without the spare for a week now, and I am really liking the look and how it cleaned up the back of the Jeep. Granted that is personal preference...

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    I got this delete relatively cheaply to see if I like it made by Suparee. Ultimately, I want to get this one to mount Rotopax on - https://vectoroffroad.com/products/jl-element-plate Well, the forum server will not let me load a picture......

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    A few of you have mentioned heigh lift jacks. I have one and it has been in my shed for years unused and never carried on my Jeep or other trucks. I switched over to a bottle jack with Safe Jack components because it has always worked for me.

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    This has been my exact experience. And, yes, it is taking a lot of convincing to run without a spare.

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    Granted, all of this is personal choice, but I value y’all’s advice. I have never run without a spare, but then I never had one on any motorcycle either. And even after taking multiple BMW Adventure bikes to some pretty remote places I can count on one hand the number of flats I have had. Never...

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    So, today I began toying with the idea of deleting my spare tire. Visibility out of the back in my 2015 JK (no backup camera) is horrible. Furthermore, I think the last time I put a spare on the ground on a vehicle I owned was my wife's Mustang about 35 years ago. Modern tires just tend to leak...

    Locker Override and/or JL Switch Install

    I have been doing some research on this locker override/bypass switch and the JL switch and not finding much. Has anyone done anything regarding this to provide more control over the lockers and make the switch bank look better. I would love to find a way to use the override kit and integrate it...

    JK Fender Trim vs Replace

    I am trying to decide whether to trim my stock fenders vs replace them. I have vacation time coming up next week and I am going to put on a leveling kit and "maybe" trim the fenders. I like the way the guys at DPG Offroad trimmed the fenders in the pic below. He has a how to video that shows him...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Added a Motobilt Hatchet stubby rear bumper to my 2015 JK and removed the rear fender inner liners to prepare for cutting the stock flares down over the week I am off. I really like this stubby bumper, it matches well with my cut down front bumper. I will mostly likely go with a Motobilt front...

    Correct wheels for 37x12.5x17 set up

    Too bad you are a long way from me. I just pulled off a new set of 17x9.5 with 4.5 backspacing that need a wider wheel to be right.

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    And who changed my thread title!? I liked my misspelling of Regrets, that was on purpose!

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    I have been going back and forth on the above question and theroycrafting. I had read that the Rubi springs are a bit of a lift but are also progressive. Thus, I was considering just doing a light lift with spacers as the springs are doing a good job and the ride on my Rubie is pretty nice...
